"Adam, I want to stand with you as a leader of the sentinels faction and wanted to help you achieve your goals, that also benefit us and protect our people and territory," all 5 of them said at once.
Adam was expecting Chase and Elizabeth to say such things, but it was surprising coming from Cole, Angela and especially Wayde.
"Well, I was hoping that would be the case, so follow after me and help me create an invincible faction" stated Adam as he continued walking towards their cultivators with his 5 friends following closely behind him.
"However, even though we are friends and I trust you all, I would like to form a soul contract with all of you" stated Adam.
They were all surprised by that and didn't know what exactly that entailed, which was to be expected as most didn't know much about the existence of souls.
"It is simple, all I want is for you guys to swear that you will work towards the betterment of the faction and that you will never betray me, the faction or any of its members. It is something that I am planning to get all the faction members to take and is one of the biggest components of my plans for the faction"
"You can still refuse and turn back. I will by no means be upset or offended. We are all friends here and you may not wish to be restricted, which is fine by me" reassured them Adam, but he was surprised by how quick and willing they were to accept.
"The soul contract doesn't pose us any threat as we do not hold any bad intentions for you or the faction anyway. We are willing to put everything we have into this faction and are placing our bets on you Adam, so lead us to a greater future" they all said as they continued following after him.
Seeing them approaching, all of the cultivators were dead silent and lined themselves up along with straightening their backs, as if they were in the military.
"Listen up everyone, we are the Seintels Faction and our power is to research, develop and improve, as well as watch and protect our territory. We will become known worldwide by cultivators, however, our presence in the lives of ordinary people will be minimal. All of you are entitled to your own lives and will be provided with great opportunities through a rewarding system. Each of you will be delegated a monetary wage depending on your value to the faction and cultivation resources along with different items and valuable experiences can be granted by fulfilling tasks or missions set by superiors"
"If you cannot fight, you can research. If you cannot research, you can work in admin. We accept everyone, however, they must be capable, a cultivator and must swear loyalty to the faction. Unlike with other groups, we focus on loyalty and you will swear loyalty through a unique method that will bind your lives to the faction"
"It will ensure that you never betray the faction and always listen to superiors, while support and protect others in the faction. Other than that, one can still live their lives outside of their faction duties and we want to create a safe haven within our territory for all people. I want you all to be able to have families in a safe environment that is oversaw and protected by us"
Adam was like a natural-born leader and his words were clearly heard by all and he no longer seemed like the monstrous kill he was on the battlefield, but a benevolent and respectable leader.
"To enemies, I am known as Death, but you guys are part of my faction and can call me the Secret Leader, The Sentinel, The Guardian, The Protector or anything else you wish to call me. I will always be there watching and protecting each of you, even if you cannot see or feel me. I am always one call away and as long as I am alive, the Sentinels Faction will only continue rising and expanding"
The ambition was clear in Adam's eyes and voice and he had already demonstrated his capabilities.
"In my stead, I leave behind the Faction Leaders, who are also my friends and faction members are all friends and family. We all support each other and are loyal, which is why we will develop and expand much faster than other factions"
As he said that, Wayde, Angela, Chase, Cole and Elizabeth stepped forth.
"These Faction Leaders will help me in leading us to a prosperous age for cultivators and all people and each has a unit. Their unit may specialise as they please and I trust their judgement and are also acting on my behalf, but to make it clear, the leaders will hereby bind their souls before you and you can all choose to do the same"
"This is optional and if you decide not to follow through with the binding to the faction, you are free to leave, but you won't be given a second chance to join us and you may be pushed out of our territories, due to you all being capable cultivators that may threaten our operations" Adam added, not wanting them to feel forced or intimidated into doing so, because of him standing before them.
A few of them turned around and left, unwilling to sign away their lives, but most opted to stay and respected and revered Adam and the other leaders that stood before them.
"We the Maxwell Family will be joining under the sentinels faction completely and will keep our family structure, but will become a unit of the faction and will also be required to swear loyalty"
"We the Epstein Family will be doing the same and I hope all of you will decide to follow through with us, if not, you are missing a great opportunity and also won't have a future within our territory"
Angela and Cole's standpoint was made clear and none of their subordinates left or had an issue with it and were instead glad and excited to become a part of the Sentinels Faction.
